No two things differ more than hurry and dispatch. Hurry is the mark of a weak mind, dispatch of a strong one.

Charles Caleb Colton

Hurry is the mark of a weak mind, dispatch of a strong one.

They will rather go on discovering things before discovered, until they are rewarded with a land hitherto unknown, an empire indisputably their own, both right of conquest and of discovery.

Charles Caleb Colton

Charles Caleb Colton

Charles Spurgeon

Those who do not hope cannot wait; but if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Alan Alda

If you don't listen deeply, the connection won't take place.... [You have to be] willing to be changed by the person you're listening to, where you're not just waiting for a pause so you can say your thing, but you're actually letting them have an effect on you if they can.
